3 January – The first functional semiconductor made from graphene is created. [2] [3] 4 January – A review indicates digital rectal examination (DRE) is an outdated routine medical practice, with a lower cancer detection rate compared to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing and no benefit from combining DRE and PSA.

Yuan Cao (Chinese: 曹原; pinyin: Cáo Yuán) is a Chinese electrical engineer and physicist.His research is focused on the properties of two-dimensional materials. [2] He discovered that a stack of two sheets of graphene, cooled to 1.7 K, could act as a superconductor or as an insulator when exposed to an electric field.
Levidian's LOOP technology cracks methane into hydrogen and carbon, before locking the carbon into high-quality green graphene. [10] It uses plasma technology to separate methane into its constituent atoms: carbon, locked into high-quality graphene, and hydrogen, which can either be used immediately or stored for future use.
